EYE STRAIN.
The symptoms of eye strain are pain in the temples, pain in the back of the head and neck, red eyelids, and inability to see at a great distance or to read long at a time. The eyes become tired, the vision blurre/1; there is strabismus or cast in the eye; and a tendency to avoid light. The lids are partly closed; there are twitohings of the lids; sick headache and dizziness. Eye strain may. cause chorea and other nervous diseases. It brings on neuralgia and headache that medicines fail to cure. Nearly every condition recited above, if brought about by defective vision or an abnormal state of the ooular muscles, can be relieved by glasses. The fitting of glasses is, at times, a very difficult task, and should be entrusted only to a painstaking physician who thoroughly understands the defeots and diseases of the eye, and is skilful with the appliances used for the scientific selection of proper lenses.
